The Hum and the Shiver by Alex Bledsoe
2.0
decent book. one of the more 'pure' fantasy books where the magic isn't explained very much. I tend to like knowing more about the systems behind the magic, so it was kind of annoying that so little got explained. but I won't hold it against the book at all made consistent sense to me
I did find the constant sex references a bit tiresome. like I get that sex happens but every encounter I have does not revolve around sex, and it's annoying when that happens in books. again though, not a deal breaker.
the characters were all interesting and the drama was not sitcom levels of stupid. I knew the twist was going to be one of the children dying (unless some random member was added just to bs fulfill the prophecy), but was still interesting to see how it would play out.
I think more time could have been spent with Kell, the scene didn't have as much of an impact because he was only in like two previous scenes.
